I mean, it goes left and right historically yes. The USA is now at “2020” level. So…… party?
Comment on MAGA waking up and seeing the election results
StabbingSky@lemmy.zip 5 hours agoSocialism isn’t going to be implemented in a single election. It’s a goal that will take years to achieve.
But progressives destroying republicans is the first step towards it.

No, it’s not because progressive candidates won, not neolibs.

I guess all we have is hope. The only thing. To even talk about anything else would make one a “bad guy.” No one wants to be a bad guy.
Silencio!

You’re not talking about something in addition to hope, you’re just ignoring what a huge win this has all been, and instead actively trashing hope

Yea, Fetterman called himself a progressive, too. We’ll have to see which ones aren’t just grifting the trend.

That’s a fair stance. My problem is people assuming it’ll be more of the same despite the DSA winning several seats.
We need fucking recall votes back.

I mean, it likely will be more of the same unless we get a real progressive president in 2028. A non-supermajority in Congress isn’t exactly much power in this government, and Dems already have lots of practice kowtowing progressives in Congress.
It’s great to see the blue wave, but this fight is far from over.

The most important bit is that they can block trumps SC nominees, and that Fettermen doesn’t have the same ability to be a traitor.
